Greenbrier football coach Jarrett Troxler had seen Jamal Richard break a long run against his Lakeside squad in 2012, but didn’t realize just how fast his starting running back was.

Nicknamed “Speedy” since the moment he stepped onto the football field at 8-years-old, Richard turned on the jets for Troxler in the Wolfpack’s 2014 season-opener at Harlem. The senior rushed for a game-high 212 yards and two touchdowns, including a 57-yarder early in the third quarter as the Wolfpack won 34-0.
